I play Fallout to fck sh1t up, not to solve physics puzzles. A decoder is an algorithm, it doesn’t shoot green energy.) and yada yada yada.
Minecraft’s popular, so they made Minecraft Lite! Oh, and did I mention it involves puzzle solving? You have to figure out which paths to take, how to align the “decoder” (it’s a fcking laser, ok? Just call it a laser. If they wanted to make it harder, there were probably a dozens ways to do so while still keeping that retro future feel to it.īut no. Worst of all, the old hacking minigame was fun! It also fit the vibe of Fallout perfectly. Look, I don’t even write code and it hurts my geek brain to look at this! The Internet is not a giant Lego! You don’t need visual metaphors to write a freakin’ program!
So your “Data Retrieval Bugs” or whatever they’re called can go upload the dataĪnd … bloody hell this is not what computers look like!!1! Then you can build bridges over the ridiculously inconveniently incomplete pathways using “code blocks” because apparently “code” isn’t the important part of that term The point is to destroy firewalls, which look like (get ready for this one) walls. I swear to Tron, I think this is where bad cartridges go when they die. You have to access Dima’s memories, and rather than just have you hack a terminal, like you have been doing in Fallout for the past 10 years, they turn it into a minigame where they replace the relaxing, somber colors you’ve been enjoying with something out of an 8-bit nightmare. So, of course, they turned it into Minecraft: It was a good plot twist, and they did it right. Have you tried adjusting the rabbit ears?Īfter all, Fallout’s gotta have its robots, and a moody, philosophical robot who quickly draws you into a conspiracy centering around his vague, shadowy, and best forgotten past is just what the game needed. Heck, I didn’t even mind when I ran into this guy, despite him looking like the black and white TV I used to watch Petticoat Junction on as a kid: Plus I found me some cool armor that makes me look like Boba Fett:Īt its best, it became rather like Skyrim: a fun place to spend a few hours, a place you might want to live, if it didn’t have all that radioactive fog.Īnd like in Skyrim, I spent a lot of time hunting. I developed an excessive interest in the doings of Far Harbor, from Small Bertha and Tom’s undeveloped stories to wondering if I could romance the Mariner. … I am really craving sum fish and chips. If this is Far Harbor, that’s probably a preschool.īordering on the ancient and unchanging ocean depths that probably hide horrors too unspeakable to contemplate … Between the fog and the dark and Maine’s primeval forests I’ve really been enjoying running around Far Harbor it has an atmosphere to it, a sense of place that I think was missing in the base game. Should have known they were gonna screw it up.
